Meaney still showed why we need either powerful winger or bloke with pace. When he ran down that kick from Benji. Ryan would have been yards back, instead the pressure Meaney caused forced the error.

With that said... I am a massive critic when it comes to Ryan.

How good was it though to see for the first time, a Wests Tigers fullback / winger return the ball from kick at full pelt and into the defensive line! Was great to see! That alone got me pumped and makes me think Ryan is really laying claim for the FB position next season.

Beau became my 2nd favourite player from Saturday night. He has great enthusiasm and attitude on the field. Not technically gifted but has heart.
Not quick but has a screw loose enough to give 100% in the forwards.

Yes indeed, a great effort and he also only coughed up one try by charging in for a bomb he had no chance of claiming and leaving a big gap behind for Paterson to rumble into. I'm sure he only did it because he cares so much. Go Beau (though not, it would sadly seem, to Penrith).

He isn't as bad as we all say he is, he just seems to be a scape goat. He shows some a-grade skills sometimes (how about that put down a few weeks ago!) and has a heart bigger than anyone else in the team.

It would be great if we could quantify how much motivation his passion adds to the team. Sheensy ain't a great motivator and I think Beau might add a lot more to the teams performance than we all think he does.

A truly hideous concept, and one I'm now struggling to get out of my head.
